Product details
Overview
VS-60MT160KPBF from Vishay Semiconductors is a lead-free, three-phase bridge rectifier module in MT-K package, rated for 60 A average output current and 1600 V maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM), with 4000 VRMS isolation voltage and UL E78996 approval. It delivers reliable power conversion in industrial motor drives and UPS systems where high surge immunity and thermal robustness are required.
For engineers reviewing the VS-60MT160KPBF datasheet, VS-60MT160KPBF pinout, VS-60MT160KPBF application, or VS-60MT160KPBF equivalent, this page provides verified electrical ratings, thermal resistance data, forward conduction characteristics, isolation compliance, and real-world design context for industrial-grade AC/DC conversion.
Technical Context
This module integrates six silicon diodes in a full-wave three-phase bridge configuration, optimized for 120° rectification conduction angle. Its electrically insulated case enables direct mounting to heatsinks without additional isolation hardware, while the MT-K outline ensures mechanical compatibility with industry-standard INT-A-PAK power modules.
Thermal performance is defined by RthJC = 0.37 K/W per module (DC operation) and RthCS = 0.03 K/W (case-to-heatsink), supporting high-power density designs. The device operates across -40 °C to +150 °C junction temperature range and withstands non-repetitive surge currents up to 440 A (60 Hz, 8.3 ms) at initial TJ = 150 °C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 1600 V - Maximum repetitive reverse blocking voltage per diode; defines usable input AC line voltage range (e.g., ≤ 1130 V RMS three-phase). |
| IO | 60 A - Average DC output current at TC = 85 °C with 120° conduction; sets continuous load capability in rectifier stage. |
| IFSM | 440 A - Peak non-repetitive surge current (60 Hz, 8.3 ms); determines short-circuit withstand in motor drive fault conditions. |
| VF(TO)1 / rf1 | 0.85 V / 8.04 mΩ - Low-current threshold voltage and slope resistance; governs conduction loss at light loads and partial conduction cycles. |
| RthJC | 0.37 K/W - Junction-to-case thermal resistance (DC per module); enables accurate heatsink sizing for thermal management. |
| VISOL | 4000 VRMS - Isolation voltage between terminals and case; satisfies reinforced insulation requirements for industrial safety standards. |
| TJ Range | -40 °C to +150 °C - Full operational junction temperature range; supports deployment in harsh ambient environments without derating. |
Pinout & Package

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable case temperature for continuous operation of the VS-60MT160KPBF?
The VS-60MT160KPBF supports continuous operation at a maximum case temperature (TC) of 85 °C when delivering its rated 60 A average output current under 120° rectification conduction. At higher case temperatures, output current must be linearly derated per the datasheet's current rating curves, with zero output permitted above 150 °C junction temperature.
Does the VS-60MT160KPBF require external isolation hardware when mounted to a metal heatsink?
No - the VS-60MT160KPBF features an electrically insulated case rated for 4000 VRMS isolation, enabling direct screw-mounting to grounded metal heatsinks without additional insulating pads or barriers. This eliminates thermal interface layers that degrade heat transfer and simplifies mechanical assembly.
What is the forward voltage drop of the VS-60MT160KPBF at 100 A peak current and 25 °C junction temperature?
The VS-60MT160KPBF exhibits a maximum forward voltage drop (VFM) of 1.75 V at Ipk = 100 A, TJ = 25 °C, and pulse width tp = 400 μs. This value reflects worst-case single-junction conduction and is used for transient loss estimation in surge conditions.
Is the VS-60MT160KPBF compliant with RoHS and halogen-free standards?
Yes - the VS-60MT160KPBF is lead-free (PbF) and certified RoHS-compliant per EU Directive 2011/65/EU. It also meets JEDEC JS709A halogen-free requirements, with bromine and chlorine content below 900 ppm each, ensuring environmental compliance for global electronics manufacturing.
How does the thermal resistance of the VS-60MT160KPBF compare to standard discrete diode solutions?
The VS-60MT160KPBF achieves RthJC = 0.37 K/W per module (DC), significantly lower than typical discrete TO-247 diodes (≈1.0–1.5 K/W). This 60–75% improvement reduces heatsink requirements and improves system power density, especially in space-constrained industrial enclosures where airflow is limited.
